Question

5 or 10 weeks pregnant?

I recently found out that I am pregnant! I used an HPT (or three) and they all came out blazingly positive. My last period was on the 23rd of October which would make me 10 weeks pregnant. However, I took a home pregnancy test on the 1st and 12th of December and both were negative even though I would have been almost 5 ½ and 7 ½ weeks respectively. My question is: should I go by the date of my last period even though it took so long to get a positive result or should I assume that I ovulated really late and am not that far along? TIA!
